NOTE: Racial and Ethnic Characterizations in the 1970 Census do not match those in the 1980, 1990, and 2000 Censuses. Therefore, Race/Ethnicity data are only reported for 1980,1990, and 2000. For 2000 data, "White, Non-Hispanic" and "Black, Non-Hispanic" include only persons identifying themselves as "White alone" and "Black or African American alone" respectively. "Other Races, Non-Hispanic" includes those identifying themselves as "American Indian and Alaska Native alone", "Asian alone","Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone","some other race alone", or of more than one race. The central city of Irvine, CA was not incorporated or a Census Designated Place during the 1970 Census.
